Martinique is French, on the euro, in the middle of the Caribbean. Currency and compliance both arrive from Europe; the customers do not. A product built for the anglophone islands is wrong here on both counts.
Not decoration. Every one of them is a field in something we have shipped.

Money in Martinique. Martinique is a French territory on the euro, which puts it inside European payment and data rules while sitting in the middle of the Caribbean. That combination is the whole engineering story here: a product built for the anglophone islands will be wrong on both currency and compliance.
We hold every amount as integer minor units with an explicit currency code, so a euro price and an EC dollar price cannot be added together by accident. Conversion happens at one explicit boundary and nowhere else.
What the lab ships in Martinique
Four lines, one studio. The same stack builds all of them, which is why the hardware and the app talk to each other.
Tier 1 · Fete Labs
Custom software for Martinique
Product engineering for businesses and institutions in Martinique: web applications, back offices, booking and ordering systems, payments integration and the data layer underneath them. Scalable architecture, type-safe low-latency code, infrastructure built to stay up.
The FetePASS ecosystem covers Martinique as one of twenty-nine island editions: tickets, food, bookings and a local feed on one pass. Currently in private preview.
Outdoor hotspot hardware for venues, events and public spaces. Lab Release 01, and the proof that this studio ships things you can touch as well as things you can log into. Agents wanted in Martinique.
For new and young businesses: a managed domain-and-site lease where we handle everything, or a custom launch on a domain you already own, built and handed over with the keys.
Great-circle distances from Fort-de-France, computed rather than guessed. A business in Martinique usually sells into these before it sells anywhere else.
